The mix of music, sound effects, and vocals is painstakingly orchestrated - from the creaks of the ship to the subtle shifts in atmospheric tone as the characters enter different situations. Add in a diverse ensemble of voices, and this production succeeds in keeping the listener in the center of the action. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award. (AudioFile magazine)As a child, Chris Hooper dreamed of monsters. But in deep space, he found only darkness and isolation. Then, on planet LV178, he and his fellow miners discovered a storm-scoured, sand-blasted hell - and trimonite, the hardest material known to man. When a shuttle crashes into the mining ship Marion, the miners learn that there was more than trimonite deep in the caverns. There was evil, hibernating and waiting for suitable prey. Hoop and his associates uncover a nest of Xenomorphs, and hell takes on a new meaning. Quickly they discover that their only hope lies with the unlikeliest of saviors.... Ellen Ripley, the last human survivor of the salvage ship Nostromo.  Language: English.

    Searching for Sitala Mata: Eradicating Smallpox in India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 539min
    This is an inspiring story of a pioneering African American woman doctor fresh out of residency training. In 1975, Cornelia Davis, MD, sought a way to give back for her life’s opportunities. Her bold choice would benefit millions of lives. The World Health Organization hired Davis to work in its landmark smallpox eradication program. Connie traveled to India, where she scoured the countryside for the last remnants of the brutal, deadly disease. Connie didn’t allow entrenched sexism, or caste taboos to deter her from her fascinating mission. She tracked smallpox through the Thar Desert on camelback and across volatile Indo-Bangladeshi borders. She negotiated with smugglers and fakirs. She met Mother Theresa. She climbed to the base camp of Mount Everest. Finally, her symbolic search for Sitala Mata, the Hindu smallpox goddess, came to a positive conclusion. An international certification team declared smallpox eradicated in India. To this day, smallpox is the only disease that’s been completely wiped out. Davis played a role in stopping a pestilence that’s dogged humanity for thousands of years. Searching for Sitala Mata is the story of how one brave woman’s simple desire to pay it forward had historic and positive ramifications worldwide.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Killing the SS , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 444min
    Confronting Nazi evil is the subject of the latest installment in the mega-best-selling Killing series.As the true horrors of the Third Reich began to be exposed immediately after World War II, the Nazi war criminals who committed genocide went on the run. A few were swiftly caught, including the notorious SS leader Heinrich Himmler. Others, however, evaded capture through a sophisticated Nazi organization designed to hide them. Among those war criminals were Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death” who performed hideous medical experiments at Auschwitz; Martin Bormann, Hitler’s brutal personal secretary; Klaus Barbie, the cruel "Butcher of Lyon"; and perhaps the most awful Nazi of all: Adolf Eichmann. Killing the SS is the epic saga of the espionage and daring waged by self-styled "Nazi hunters". This determined and disparate group included a French husband and wife team, an American lawyer who served in the army on D-Day, a German prosecutor who had signed an oath to the Nazi Party, Israeli Mossad agents, and a death camp survivor. Over decades, these men and women scoured the world, tracking down the SS fugitives and bringing them to justice, which often meant death. Written in the fast-paced style of the Killing series, Killing the SS will educate and stun the listener. The final chapter is truly shocking. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bill O'Reilly. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/aren/003482/bk_aren_003482_sample.mp3.

    Don't you just love reading about famous people and their sex scandals? Recently, we've all scoured the Internet and gossip magazines for more details about former CIA director David Petraeus' affair with Paula Broadwell. Turns out the whole thing blew up because of a threesome rivalry. So there will be no more military three-ways in Tampa now. Susie was inspired to look at this whole mess in another way after reading an article in The Onion that really took a pointed look at distractions versus hard, cold reality in what people pay attention to day to day. Susie talks about the trouble with threesomes, what's the allure of men in uniform, and how sex can change for veterans when they return home. Then, from our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a letter from a very happy husband. He and his wife have great sex, but he doesn't understand how she can have such intense orgasms from just his lightest touch and licking: "I thought you needed more penetration to get the big O. No complaints, just wondering."Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110. And you can send your confidential questions - plus requests for free samples and blog banners! - to susie@susiebright.com.

    Chasing the Flying Saucers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 378min
    In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the heyday of classic saucering, the most popular UFO magazine in the world was Ray Palmer's Flying Saucers. The most popular column in this widely distributed periodical was "Chasing the Saucers", a series authored by literary great Gray Barker. From his "secret" headquarters deep in the hills of West Virginia, Barker scoured newspapers and wire services from all over the world, bringing his fans the most up-to-date news on the latest UFO encounters and unusual "Fortean" events. At times, sober and objective; at other times, intimate, speculative, and self-deprecating, Barker displays the full palette of his trade, drawing the listener into his own unique and fascinating world - the world of the saucers. Listeners will learn much about what really happened in those halcyon days and what was going on behind the scenes of ufology. Barker's eye for detail and understanding of human psychology add special flair to this classic study of a true paranormal enigma. This special 2015 edition provides in-depth coverage on several famous UFO cases (in many instances, the first reports ever generated about them), making Chasing the Flying Saucers an indispensable resource for today's paranormal investigator. Also featured are enlightening introductions from two of Barker's trusted friends and colleagues, Editor Rick Hilberg and Professor David J. Halperin. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Alien Contact: Nazi UFOs, Hörbuch, Digital, 66min
    The Nazi party was obsessed with the occult. They scoured the globe in search of mysterious forces that would enable them to build their 1,000 year Reich. From the Holy Grail to the lance that pierced the side of Christ, from Tibet to the Antarctic, no region or mythological device was ignored. In fact, they turned the planet inside out looking for something ancient. Something the Nazi elite called "the most powerful weapon" - a weapon that would instill such awe, that it would cause the entire world to surrender overnight. Then suddenly during World War II, the Nazis achieved a massive leap in technology. From the first jet aircraft and V-2 rocket encompassing incredible advancements in science and engineering, the Nazis were miles ahead in every area, including genetic manipulation, mass hypnosis, and unfathomable experiments into the nature of time and space itself. But where did this quantum leap emanate from? The US captured Nazi Germany's top scientists, including rocket scientist Wernher von Braun, who, with other former Nazis, provided information and technological advancements that would propel the US space program on a fast track to the moon. But where did the Nazis get this knowledge? Von Braun said more than once "we had help". This is real forbidden history; this is the story of the Nazis and the aliens from outer space.

    The Longest Road: Overland in Search of America, from Key West to the Arctic Ocean , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 710min
    September 1996 found Philip Caputo on Barter Island, a wind-scoured rock in the Beaufort Sea populated by two hundred Inupiat and a handful of whites. As he gazed upon an American flag above the only school for a 150 miles, he marveled that the children in that school pledged allegiance to the same flag as the children of Cuban immigrants on Key West, almost six thousand miles away. Awed by America’s vastness and diversity and filled with a renewed appreciation for its cohesiveness, an idea began to form. With enough time, gas money, and nerve he could drive from the southernmost point to the northernmost point of the United States that is reachable by road, talking to people as he went and trying to better understand what holds our great country together. Cicada-like, the idea went dormant, not to be reawakened for 14 years. In 2011, America was struggling through the greatest economic downturn since the Depression and was more divided than it had been in living memory. Caputo, who had just turned 70, his wife, and their two English setters took off in a truck hauling an Airstream camper from Key West, Florida, en route via back roads and state routes to Deadhorse, Alaska. The journey took four months and covered 17,000 miles, during which Caputo interviewed more than 80 Americans from all walks of life to get a picture of what their lives and the life of the nation are really about in the 21st century. ungekürzt.
